MARGAO: "I gave instructions to the armed forces personnel to shoot at anyone possessing an AK-47 machine gun as it is obvious that they do not have any good intentions," remarked Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar on Saturday.
Parrikar made this remark while addressing a massive crowd that had gathered for the BJP's election campaign 'Vijay Sankalp Mahamelava' held at the Government Multipurpose high school grounds in the Fatorda constituency.
Stating that 'the Army had conducted the surgical strikes+ , but only after this bold decision was taken by our government,' the Union defence minister further remarked, "after the Bofors scam in 1986+ , the Congress government did not have the guts to purchase any new machinery. Now, 30 years later, approvals have been given for the purchase of Howitzers and self-propelled artillery+ , besides the contract given to HAL as part of the 'Made in India' campaign. Also, the Tejas squadron was successfully inducted into the Air Force. These are all part of the morale boosting by our government headed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi who has taken bold decisions like the demonetisation which has with one strike affected those who had looted the public."
Expressing confidence that BJP would win not 21 seats but 25 or 26 seats in the forthcoming Goa assembly elections, Parrikar urged the electorate not to repeat their 'mistake' of not electing the BJP Fatorda candidate that he claimed occurred due to 'miscommunication' as he took a dig at the Fatorda independent MLA Vijai Sardessai for his remark urging voters 'not to give a majority to any political party.'
